EU-Startups Podcast | Episode 113: Claudia de la Riva, CEO of Apolo Kids

This week on the EU-Startups Podcast, we are delighted to have Claudia de la Riva, mother of two, serial entrepreneur, and CEO of Apolo Kids.

For children, Apolo means a new way of learning—one that follows their own paths and interests. For parents, it’s a tool to support work-life balance while better preparing their kids for the future. Apolo is the perfect complement to motivate children through interest-based, autonomous, on-the-go learning, thanks to a range of solutions tailored to each child’s unique talents.

As Claudia puts it: “There is nothing more powerful than children’s curiosity. Let’s invest in their education.”

In this episode, Claudia shares her journey as both an entrepreneur and a mother, opening up about the challenges and motivations that drive her. She highlights the importance of personal growth, the chaos of parenting, and the need to reimagine the educational system to meet the diverse needs of children—her reflections on parenting myths, the role of personal experience, and much more.
